This outlet has not made frequent mention of Viking runner Chiara Dailey during her record-breaking four years at LJHS or taken many photos of her, but this time is different.
Dailey, the oldest of several running siblings to grace the Gene Edwards Stadium track, won the mile at the Arcadia Invitational in greater Los Angeles Sat., April 11. Her time was 4:41.12. She has gained more and more prominence on campus and on the cross country and track teams for the Vikings as her profile has increased nationally.
Her performances have led to regular coverage in local legacy media, including the San Diego Union-Tribune, making reporting of her exploits here seem almost superfluous. I/we still give Chiara plaudits for all her successful times.
Her bright red hair makes her easy to spot. Out of the chute three years ago, in her freshman year, Dailey began dominating local races during the Spring track season.
No discredit to them, but Kirra Fisk (now running as a sophomore in college at UC Davis) and Daphne Mayer (running last year as a freshman at Rice)--both two years ahead of Chiara--suddenly had a teammate and classmate who left them in the dust in the middle and long distances. Both graduated two years ago after outstanding four-year Viking careers.
